Are you there God? It's me, a fan of movies like this, which no one makes anymore. Please let Kelly Fremon Craig make 100 more movies :pray:

After knowing of the book and seeing the film get great reviews, I had to check it out. To be clear, I am not the target audience for this movie whatsoever. It is undeniably solid and the audience it is meant for will surely love it.

Rating: 3.5/5 - 80% - Would Recommend

A beautifully done adaptation of a beloved book, got me in my feels and addressed topics most young girls would be able to relate to.

Are You There God? is a wonderful film. Although the story centers around a young woman and puberty, the subplots offer enough complexity to capture the interest of parents, especially those with young daughters. The characters are charming, the comedy is intelligent, and the narrative is heartwarming.

Since I am not a girl, I can't really relate too much to what happened in this movie, but I can still enjoy it. This is a very good coming-of-age story that really portrays those awkward middle school years well.

had a good time watching it, really entertaining, highly recommend it if u wanna watch something when you are bored

Wasn't sure what to expect , but pretty good overall.
8/10

this emoji but in movie form

Silly movie . Couldn't watch beyond 10minues

The only bad thing about this film as it seemed to have ended abruptly. It is a very well written piece about the coming of age for young woman, and therefore follows a young girl in the 6th grade as she deals with the many changing aspects of life and how the lingering moment of getting her fist period is the essence of everything making sense. Its personal, sensitive, funny, and sweet which makes for such pleasurable good feeling entertainment that makes the audience fall instantly in love with the characters. Although the plot development and climax was smooth and made a lot of sense, the ending came suddenly making the audience angry as you thought it wasn't done yet.

Poorly sold comedy, all the trailers seemed to hint the main theme was the hypersexualization of tween girls, instead it switches to a stronger emphasis on the religious choice in the second half. A bit inconclusive, with a predictable ending, too many themes not covered in depth, and at the end the not credible story of a too perfect US family.

Really great coming-of-age story with an outstanding performance by Abby Ryder Fortson. The movie doesn't try to hard to be overly dramatic and keeps a good balance with hopeful and light-hearted scenes. And.. oh yeah.. Rachel McAdams is still one of the most beautiful women in het world.

Meh, I thought it would be better than it actually was

Rated a Connor 5, normal 7.4

A sincere heartfelt adaptation of a most beloved teen novel. Everyone was perfectly cast, but my favourite were the parents. They were so loving and tried so hard to be good parents.

This is fine. The movie is at its strongest when it dives into the religious stuff, because it’s the most unique angle this story has to offer. The scenes dealing with puberty felt slightly more bland and predictable, and I think a lot of that stuff is more interestingly captured in a movie like _Turning Red_. Nevertheless, it has a really sweet tone, it’s sincere and fluffy without ever becoming too sentimental. There’s not a ton of comedy, but the stuff that’s in there hits the mark. Rachel McAdams has the perfect vibe for this type of movie, I also really liked Bennie Safdie and the younger cast. However, the filmmaking is quite a big weak spot. The cinematography and editing feel very anonymous, both are lacking in cinematic quality and personality. The music is also very dull, a lot of it feels like stock coming-of-age movie music. Overall, it’s nothing special and fairly inconsequential, but it makes for good comfort food.

6/10

A well-done adaption of a book from our childhood. I had forgotten the story, but the chant of “we must increase our bust” brought back memories. Not a film I would necessarily recommend, but maybe good for young girls like the book was back in the day. A celebration of girls growing into women.

I was able to see a early screening to this and although I went into it pretty blind as far as what the movie was about I still had high hopes due it being directed by the same director as Edge of Seventeen. Rachel McAdams and Abby Ryder Fortson are both great as well as the whole cast and this movie has some comedic moments and realism of awkwardness in a young coming of age movie. Not that every movie has to have something dramatic or big happen to be able to be told but this movie never quite captivated me as an audience member in the story. The runtime was progressing and the movie was nearing an end and I was asking myself when something was gonna happen. Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret is a sweet story of a girl moving to a new town and growing up at least what she thinks is growing up getting her first period and sure it’s a sweet simple story but you leave kinda disappointed that nothing really happened besides watching the life of a 6th grader during one school year.
